This book is split in half, the first telling the story of a Indian teen living in Illinois who gets pregnant, and the second is her daughter growing up with an adopted family that doesn‘t look like her. I found the first half of the book exciting and I felt eager to read it but the second fell short. As the daughter comes into her own with her culture, the author attempts to also teach the reader some fun facts about India. ⬇️

Zoe-h ⬆️ But it ended up feeling like I was reading one of those narratives on a state test for school. And at the end, the story is still only told from the daughter‘s perspective despite the fact it‘s an important time for both of them. Such a good premise but the book fell short. 4⭐️ 2y
